am thinking of getting tunnell tent as they seem to be the most sensible... quick and easy to put up etc... and following the recs below (peachychocolateclair seems very very knowledgeable!)... am beginning ...to favoyur the khyam ontario... however... at the moment there are 5 of us me, dh, dd 5, ds 3 and dd2 7 months... i'm thinking that we get a tent with two bedrooms (berths?) as the littilies will generally prefer to sleep together... or should i go for a three berth? for future... or by the time that the kiddies want to move into separate rooms... will we ned to get a new tent anyway... does this make sense... i do tend to waffle....

also what are the major things i should look for when getting a tent... will generally be for summer camping... nothing too rough!

ta!

Don't forget I was the one screaming for an epidural 20 minutes into labour - less than 2cm dilated..!

There's a groundsheet included, a SIG but you can also get one that goes underneath (footrpint sheet), its purely optional but does protect the SIG from damage- SIG's being the most vulnerable part of a tent.

Well you have to consider that we're also watching 3 kids, 2 who have asd and need extra watching

So I think 25 minutes fully pegged is pretty good!
